Nocona woman set to lead 97th Judicial District
As a kid, Paige Williams got paid a penny a pocket part to add supplements to her dad's law books. That was her first taste of the law.
She has come a long way from that youngster walking the halls of the county courthouse with her attorney father, Roger Williams. On Tuesday, she was sworn in as district attorney of the three-county 97th Judicial District.
Although she was close to the law most of her life, it was not until later in her adult life that Williams pursued law school and became a lawyer.
Born in Austin to Roger and Ella Williams, the family moved to Nocona six months after Paige was born, so she considers it home. Her father operated a law office and also served as county attorney.
Attending Nocona schools until she was a sophomore, Paige jumped to the University to North Texas Academy of Math and Science completing high school in 1992. Williams went to Tulane University where she earned her undergraduate degree in 1994, and then took time off to do mission work in South America.
The incoming DA says her life after college was spent doing lots of different things, which she adds taught her many life lessons. After the mission work, she moved to Washington, D.C., to work as an intern with Sen. John Breaux from Louisiana. She worked her way up to legislative assistant doing many tasks.
After about a year, she went to work for the American Farm Bureau in its media department working closely with state agencies on the agriculture side of the lobbyist group.
A year later she moved back to New Orleans, where she worked as a paralegal for a plaintiff's attorney.
"It was interesting, especially being in Louisiana where the law is French-based. The legal system is completely different," recalls Williams.
With the firm for about a year, the young woman moved back to Texas and became a seventh-grade science teacher. A few years later she married Marine Sgt. Alex Ferguson and the couple moved back to D.C., where they had met. They had their first child, Payton, shortly after the move. The military family then moved to Hawaii, where she continued teaching.
At age 28, life took a big turn, as Paige and her husband divorced. She also had decided to apply to law school as she made the move back to Texas.
"I had always been interested in law, and I had gotten into a few others, but decided on Texas Wesleyan in Fort Worth. I needed to be as close to Nocona as possible to be near my family. Yes, it was scary, but I was ready for it. I had to make it happen and worked toward it. I had so much support," Williams said.
Her original intent was to become a uniform commercial commerce act attorney or what she calls "a paper lawyer." Her first job at a firm on the Fort Worth southside, changed her direction. Handling family and criminal law cases, Williams recalls it was "trial by fire," as she was thrown in to learn the system quickly.
"I picked it up easily and enjoyed it," she said.
There was one case that solidified her desire to work in criminal law. Williams said she had an "innocent man," as a client and it took all her efforts to get the judge to take action.
"I finally got the judge to take his fingerprints and compare them to the person who actually did the crime. The two men had the same name and shared the same Social Security number because they were not legal. The prints proved it. The judge ordered an immediate exoneration and got him out of jail. Everyone says
their client is not guilty and that may not be true, but this guy was obviously innocent, and no one had looked into it," explains Williams.
In 2008, the Williams and Williams shingle went up in Nocona as Paige began working with her dad in his law practice. Two years earlier Paige had married Frank Johnston. At age 38, Williams began to consider the top prosecutor's job in her county. She calls "it's a big picture job," where you are making sure justice is served, not just going after someone because he is the bad guy. It was a tough primary for the Nocona woman as she raced against two experienced attorneys. She was pleased the three-counties supported her with more than 50 percent of the vote and she is excited to get started in the courthouse where she grew up.
Following her election, DA Jack McGaughey asked her to work as assistant DA starting in October, preparing for the transition as he moves to district judge.
Williams says it was the best offer she could have gotten and her predecessor has made it easy.

Outreach programs and services that share the University's international resources with the community and state are an important part of the mission of International Studies and Programs at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. In fact, we are the state's only university with a comprehensive, global education outreach program. For public audiences, the Center sponsors programs that serve to increase interest in and understanding of other cultures. Offered in partnership with community organizations and featuring the University's growing cadre of faculty with international expertise, these public programs create a forum for informed discussion of world affairs and U.S. foreign policy and their impact on our region. We also assist precollegiate teachers and schools, which are now called upon to provide students the knowledge, skills and sensitivities required by our global economy and society.
The Center conducts, in cooperation with the University's Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Education and the Missouri Geographic Alliance, an Annual Geographic Education Conference for teachers and UM-St. Louis education majors. We serve educators statewide with the Missouri International Studies Resource Collection. A library of exemplary global studies teaching materials for grades K-college, the Collection includes videos, curriculum units, children's literature, and cultural artifact kits for ten countries/cultures. New acquisitions will focus on serving the course and program created by our endowed professorships in international studies. Through the Center's biannual newsletter, we inform educators of resources and learning opportunities throughout the country.
The Center's annual State of the World Conference brings business people, alumni and others from the community together with faculty and students to discuss critical global issues that impact our community. A central event for the annual May observation of World Trade Month in St. Louis, this conference is a collaboration with the World Affairs Council of St. Louis and the U.S. Export Assistance Center and its partners and the St. Louis Center for International Relations. International Studies and Programs is linked to St. Louis' ethnic communities through endowed professorships in African/African-American, Chinese, Greek, Irish and Japanese studies. These partnerships are vehicles for exploring the territory where ethnicity intersects with global events, issues and U.S. Foreign policy. In 1994, International Studies and Programs created the Missouri Japan Network, its first statewide vehicle for helping communities develop linkages to other societies. A partnership with Obirin University in Tokyo extended this teacher training project to Japan. In 1995, we inaugurated the prestigious Global Citizen Award. The Award highlights the University's commitment to educating students for a world in which the responsibilities of citizenship are global. It carries a medallion and cash prize.

Debian Announces 2 Year Release Cycle
At this weeks Debconf in Spain the Debian Project announced a development freeze in December of every odd year with future releases scheduled for the first half of each even year.
The 2 year period will begin in 2009, despite the release of Debian 5.0 Lenny on Feb.14. This exception will enable the project to slip smoothly into the two year rhythm. Consequently, Debian 6.0 will freeze this December and become available in the first half year of 2010.
The new release plan was announced by Meike Reichle, a Debian developer working at the informatics institute of the University of Hildesheim in Germany, on the Debian mailing list. She also writes that companies and organizations who find the 2010 squeeze since Lenny 2009 too quick, the project will enable a skip from version 5.0 to Debian 7.0 upon its release.

Has anyone posted their plan that takes advantage of a rear view? I don't mind searching (if you can point me in the right direction) or if you could link me there that would be great.
I know members here have some great views and beautiful homes. I figure this is a better use of my time than randomly searching those big plan shop sites. Just trying to gather ideas.... thanks a bunch. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check out this site. http://www.dreamhomesource.com/house-plans-full-search-plan-detail.hwx/Q/searchId.135662576/range.10 The search that comes up has many house designs with plenty of glass in the back. |
- Posted by lindybarts (My Page) on Fri, Mar 21, 08 at 16:54
The best way to search is to use the words "waterfront home plan or lake home plan" Usually, those homes are geared towards views. |

- Posted by flgargoyle (My Page) on Fri, Mar 21, 08 at 17:37
Good idea to search waterfront homes- I never though of that! We have the same situation- view out the back on a sloping lot. To make it more complicated, we only plan on 1200 sq ft or so, and we want a view from the kitchen window. I'm working on my own design, and I think I have it nearly worked out, but the all-important back porch tends to block the view. That, and it's surprisingly hard to fit a stairway into a small house! Since we are building on one level (plus a basement), the design leans towards a wide ranch, so as many rooms as possible have a view. |
I guess we need a pic of your rear to help out more. |
- Posted by craftsman_lodge (My Page) on Sat, Mar 22, 08 at 11:15
On eplans.com, you can choose "expansive rear view" as a search requirement in "Advanced search". That's very helpful. We have a sloping lot, and two of our favorite plans are HWEPL10599 on eplans.com, (which is a Mascord plan), and on Robinsonplans.com, the "I" series craftsman home plan. |
craftsman_lodge The Mascord plan you mention was one of our favorite as well. We ended up not using it because we didn't think it would "sit" right on our lot, but I love so much about the plan. beachbumWe went with a different Mascord plan, but I found lots of plans on his site www.mascord.com that lend themselves to rear views. You can also use their Plan Search feature to search specifically for plans where the "Direction of View" is to the rear. Good luck! Searching through house plans is a fun stage. |
We built a Don Gardner plan, the evergreen. It's an open floor plan and 1680 sq. ft. Wonderful rear view! Barbara |
These pics are a bit old but we definitely have a rear view. |

The houseplan that I designed our home from (which has a lot of back view says W.L. Martin Designs and I have it saved w/ the number 24030, I don't know if that has any significance or not. Sorry that's all the help I am. If I come across anything more identifying I'll be sure and post it. It is bigger than you're thinking but may have some adjustments possible. |
- Posted by soonerhouse2007 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 25, 08 at 11:18
We bought our plans from houseplans.com #310-230. It is a one story wide plan with a European flair. We have incredible back views from our house, but we also tweaked the plan with larger taller windows and doors. |
Look for house plans that include a sunroom on the back. |
We've been in now since last August. The pictures I'm posting where done early in the build. They show our backyard which faces a scenic road. Due to lot size our home is long (140 ft) rather than a tradional square house. That actually worked to our benefit by allowing us to stagger rooms end to end giving us a view from every window. Interior has a very long hallway (at front of the house) to connect the rooms. |

Power Transition
After years of stagnant growth in conventional oil extraction rates, ignorance of Hubbert's Curve has peaked. Now that the mainstream can't dismiss the issue, public conversations proclaim an exuberant belief in marginal reserves as our savior. Claims of American energy independence have fueled a dialogue that threatens to drive the US economy towards a fiscal and energy cliff. Can we look toward renewables to meet our energy needs for the future? Is it possible to start telling a new story about our energy future?
In Extraenvironmentalist #47 we discuss the global energy picture with Chris Nelder as he describes the energy stories we tell ourselves and explains exactly how many natural gas wells it will take for the United States to gain energy independence. We ask Chris about the complexity of our international energy markets and why we shouldn't give up on renewable energy even if it doesn't fit the power grid of today. Then, we speak with Gregor MacDonald about the recent blackout in India that cut electricity to 10% of Earth's population. Gregor tells us about the process of normal accidents and why the risk we've offloaded might be trickling back into our energy infrastructure. Last of all, we speculate about the future of capitalism as growth ends. Will we look back on these years of corporate rule as the golden age before serfdom?

text: This week has been a failure. I got sick starting last weekend and it has continued all week (I currently have no voice). Because of that my eating habits went down the tubes and I couldn't go to the gym (I had a sore throat and hacking cough). This morning I weighed in at 157.5... 2 lbs up from last week. Now I have almost 8 lbs to go to reach my christmas mini-goal.... which is only 4 weeks away- That's 2 lbs a week, that I need to lose consistently to get there. Tomorrow, which is my "official" weigh-in will be a day of recommital... I want to reach 150 by Christmas... I am determined to do it. I feel like a failure this week, and I feel quite ashamed- this is my first weight GAIN since I started this journey at the beginning of October. I have always either maintained or lost. I know that by admitting this to you guys, it helps to solidify what I need to do... because I wouldn't want to let you all down. With work, and finals coming up, and the holidays, it will be so hard to fit all my exercise in... but I really have to try. Thanks for listening... I just needed to get that out there.

Ireland's only surviving music and DVD retail chain, Golden Discs, has returned a profit of E208,979 for the year-end June 2013 after a deferred tax provision.
Despite the era of the music download, it said like-for-like sales grew 7.5pc for the period.
It recorded a decline in turnover but the company reported improved gross margins.
"Changes to our product mix and customer orientation enhanced margins and the continuation of an aggressive cost cutting program yielded significant benefits," said Golden Disc Group Managing Director Stephen Fitzgerald.
The results significantly outperform (Chart-Track) statistics for Ireland which suggest CD and DVD sales declined by over 30pc in 2013.
Golden Discs turnover for the year end June 2014 has grown by over 40pc and numbers employed have increased by 25pc bringing the total to over 100 employees.
The company has 17 stores nationwide with the most recent six openings in the past twelve months in Pavilions Swords, Blanchardstown Centre, Patrick Street Cork, White Water Newbridge, Stephens Green and a pop up on Grafton Street. It is considering additional store openings over the coming months, it said.
The company remains "cautiously optimistic" about the current financial year citing the industry's dependence on a strong release schedule from the labels and studios.
"Initial indications are for a strong fourth quarter with key album releases from U2, Rihanna, The Script, Take That and One Direction. On DVD Mrs Browns Boys, Love Hate, X-men and a variety of Box-sets and comedy titles are expected to perform very well," said Mr Fitzgerald.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released its newest Shopper's Guide to Pesticides on Monday, which is Earth Day. And apples top its annual "Dirty Dozen" list of fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide residues for the third year in a row.
Other changes from the 2012 findings: cherry tomatoes and hot peppers are newcomers this year. Blueberries and lettuce, meanwhile, dropped off the Dirty Dozen list. The environmental watchdog group uses data compiled by the USDA, based on pre-washed samples of 48 types of conventionally-grown fruits and vegetables, to produce its findings.
"I think most Americans would be very surprised about how prevalent pesticide residue is," EWG senior analyst Sonya Lunder told Yahoo! Shine, noting that pesticides were still seen on 67 percent of the samples, which were all either washed or peeled before being tested.
Among the top three worst offenders—apples, strawberries and grapes—nearly every sample had pesticides on it, Lunder said, with one grape alone showing traces of 15 pesticides. [continue]

ast month's 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Honshu, Japan is reportedly the fifth strongest ever recorded. The quake created a tsunami which dealt a destructive blow to the humans and pets inhabiting Japan�s cities, towns, and rural areas.
This morning (Thursday evening in Japan) an aftershock measuring 7.4 �struck off Japan's eastern coast about 60 miles from Sendai and 90 miles from Fukushima. It was about 215 miles from Tokyo.�
The Japanese meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning, predicting one meter waves, however cancelled the warning 90 minutes later.
Last month, as tsunami waves from the Japanese earthquake affected multiple states along the west coast of the United States, the California Emergency Management Agency released warnings for California coastal cities.
How to prepare for something like that occurring here in West Hollywood, or for that matter, anywhere else in the world?
Primarily, be aware of your pet�s location. In the urgency of a natural disaster or other emergency, sometimes a pet�s location may be unknown.
Cats and small dogs can hide in a closet, under a bed, or elsewhere in attempt to escape the stress and potential harm.
Medium and large breed dogs typically make their presence more obvious, but they may instinctively flee from a dangerous scene unbeknownst to their concerned owner.
Be consistently aware of your pet�s location in your house, yard, or public place. Frequently observe your pet�s habits, including their preferential location to nap, nest, or hide. Knowing your pet�s �free time� habits can facilitate their discovery in the face of an emergency.
Have your pet wear identification Should your pet escape your home environment, a safe return may occur more readily if the lost pet bears up to date identification.
Fit your dog or cat with a cervical (neck) collar embroidered with or displaying a tag displaying the pet�s name and (at least) your phone number or email. Collars can be removed or fall off, therefore microchip implantation increases the likelihood you will be reunited with your pet.
Keep your personal information up to date with the microchip manufacturer. As microchip identification requires a scanner and collars can go missing, the use of both is ideal.
If a sudden crisis forces you to flee your home environment, make sure to transport your pet in an a secure manner. Cats and small dogs should be placed in a protective (rigid or soft), airline approved carrier. Your pet�s name, species, color, breed, and weight, along with your contact information, should be easily visible on the outside of the carrier.
Medium and large breed dogs are not easily transported via carrier, use a cervical collar or chest harness and leash to maintain control of your pet�s movements.
Promote a stress reduced state for your pet
Encourage a calmer state by giving your pet a dose of a stress relieving product, such as Rescue Remedy Pet, 1-2 hours before a potentially distressing event.
I often administer this product to my patients in conjunction with acupuncture treatments to promote better acceptance the sensation initially caused by needle insertion.
To ensure the ongoing health of your pet, keep supplies and food in easily accessible and transportable containers. As many pets need consistent treatment to manage chronic conditions, an emergency could cause a therapeutic interruption.
My dog, Cardiff, has Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA), so I use a Monday through Friday AM/PM pill dispenser to keep his medication and supplements organized whether we are at home or traveling.
To reduce the likelihood your pet will suffer from digestive upset associated with food changes, keep containers of food supplying multiple portions ready in case of abrupt departure.
To better alert emergency personnel of your pet�s presence in your home, post a notification in a clearly viewed window. In 2009, the American Kennel Club (AKC) and ADT Security Services partnered to create window clings so pet owners can write information about their pet (dog, cat, other, date). I hope the clings will eventually include more details, such as those mentioned in the above section about safe pet transport.
Seek veterinary care immediately In the face of a variety of emergency situations, a pet could be exposed to smoke, fire, water, or other noxious substances which require immediate care from an emergency veterinary facility.
Tissue trauma from heat, moisture, or chemicals may not be readily apparent from external evaluation. Internal organs can quickly be damaged and cause life threatening malfunction of vital organs (brain, heart, and lungs).
Determination of the degree of organ system trauma may require diagnostics (x-rays, blood tests, etc) to permit the best treatment for your pet�s particular condition.
For the sake of the your health and that of your pet, I hope that you and your pet never forced to take action in dealing with an emergency. As I have learned from my clinical practice, it is always is best to ready oneself and our pets for the unforeseeable by following the above recommendations as part of an emergency preparedness strategy.

"A More Perfect Union"
Nate understands that there is a great deal of work left to be done in addressing the problems we face after more than a decade dominated by war, economic crisis, and partisan political division. Inequality is on the rise. Too many Americans are still struggling to make ends meet. Millions of hardworking people are unable to find any employment at all or a job suitable to build a life or support a family, despite their qualifications. Seniors worry if they will have enough financial security to live out their lives in health and comfort. Parents fear they will not be able to afford healthcare and educational costs they know their children need and deserve. Millions of children go to bed each night having not received a nutritious, healthy meal. Nate believes that in a country with as much wealth, power, and commitment to morality as ours, no child should ever go to bed hungry and no capable, determined worker should come home without enough money to provide for a family.
Most of our political leadership either fail to address these and other important issues or do so only by proposing ineffective, out-of-touch, politically safe remedies. Our leadership in Washington must do more to ease the problems which plague American families and businesses. Nate's solution is not more government, but smarter government.
From his experience as a grassroots organizer, working and speaking one-on-one with ordinary Americans from all walks of life, Nate knows full well that even when times are tough, Americans want nothing more than a fair opportunity to build a comfortable life for themselves and their family. Our government has a moral responsibility to work to ensure that any American willing to take initiative, work hard, and assume personal responsibility will be able to enjoy a comfortable and healthy life. Rather than meet this responsibility, however, our government has acted to preserve the self-interest of politicians and their wealthy financial supporters. If we are going to get serious about addressing America's most challenging issues, we must restore our democracy by voting for representatives committed to doing the business of the people.
As a Congressman, Nate's only priority will be serving the people of the 4th District in a way that reflects his constituent's political will and best interests. This simple notion, to put country ahead of party and policy above politics, has become lost in modern politics. A re-commitment to true Representative Democracy, along with a few other notions that lay at the core of American values, has the power to be as transformative for our country now as they were at the time of the founding of the republic.
"All Men Are Created Equal"
Individual Freedom has been the driving force behind both the revolutionary American Spirit and many of the greatest accomplishments of the United States and it's people. The freedom of each American to pursue their own good in their own way has made the United States the most innovative and efficient economic power in history. Freedom, though, cannot truly exist without Equal Rights for All Americans. Every American must be free to contribute to our democratic society without compromising his or her individuality, heritage, or values. By ensuring that the perspective, vision, and conscience of every American, regardless of race, religion, creed, political philosophy, or sexual or gender identification, is heard, we ensure a vibrant "marketplace of ideas" that reflect the nature and shared values of our diverse democratic society. The inclusion of new and challenging ideas into America's ongoing public discourse has helped spread American values across the globe, building peace and prosperity across oceans and continents. By ensuring that all Americans share an equal right to freely participate in society, commerce, academics and the political process, we strengthen our national conviction in long-held beliefs and values while allowing society to grow and change to serve the will of the people.
"The Pursuit Of Happiness"
Nate is committed to the precept that any American who works well and hard in a job which contributes to society should be able to enjoy the comforts of American life. Nate believes that the foundation for a good-paying, satisfying career is Education.
In order to create the most opportunities for Americans entering the workforce as well as ensure that the American workforce is ready to compete in and lead the 21st Century global economy, students and young professionals must have the resources to prepare them for the jobs of the 21st Century. Nate will make it a priority to expand college access and affordability to more Americans, especially those from disproportionately underserved communities. There are several methods of doing this which Nate will explore and discuss throughout the campaign including restructuring the American Opportunity Tax Credit and keeping federal student loan interest rates at fair and manageable levels. In order to ensure that federal dollars loaned out to students as investments in the future economy of the United States are best protected, students accepting federal assistance should be provided with information on how to plan and manage their finances and debt obligations while they are still enrolled in school.
Nate understands that a traditional college education is not for everyone and that there are a growing number of career opportunities for non-college graduates to earn a good living doing important work. In order to ensure that Americans are able to take advantage of the opportunities available in a changing, modernizing economy, Nate supports increased access to job training and retraining programs. These programs range from making trade and technical schools more important to more innovative, internet-based approaches which will reduce the financial costs and time commitments which prohibit too many struggling Americans from entering existing training programs.
"Liberty and Justice For All"
Education and equal protection under the law can only go so far in ensuring that the American Dream remains available to all Americans. While government must be responsive to it's need to ensure certain opportunities exist and protect the rights of the people, it must also be vigilant not to impede unnecessarily on the Individual. Many Americans are unduly discouraged or limited from starting their own small business by misguided, misapplied, and outdated laws. Deregulation of Small Business will revitalize the backbone of the American economy and promote the spirit of entrepreneurship that has fueled so many great American achievements.
Nate Irvin will call for a review of America's regulatory system with an eye towards removing or updating outdated regulations and using technological developments to better monitor which regulations are truly serving the interests of the country and which are causing unnecessary red tape and obstacles. Nate will lead the effort to abandon political orthodoxy and do away with regulations which impede small business growth. Additionally, Nate will work to ensure that nationwide or industry-wide regulations that would disproportionately disadvantage small businesses compared to large corporate entities be introduced as two separate bills, helping to protect small business from unnecessary over-regulation.
"Government of the People, By the People, For the People"
In addition to revitalizing the democratic nature of our politics and elections, Nate will work to increase government efficiency by modernizing government, cutting down bureaucracy, increasing transparency, and strengthening the cooperative relationship between the people and their government.
Modern data-analytics and communications technology will make it easier than ever to identify wasteful redundancy, ineffective programs, and outdated programs. This means we can reduce the size of government, spending levels, the budget deficit and the political and economic crises caused by debate over federal spending without eliminating valuable programs Americans rely on. Similar technological developments have given us the capability to improve the relationship between the public and the government. Government resources and useful information about what programs are available and how to take advantage of such programs can more easily than ever be disseminated to the people who stand to benefit.
"A New Birth Of Freedom"
Smarter government starts with a more vibrant democracy. Contact the campaign and tell us what you think about our message, tell us about the problems facing your family, business or community, and let us know your thoughts on how to resolve those problems. Your input is our most valuable tool. Keep checking in here on the Issues page and everywhere else to see how we put your input to work!

Brands we wish would kiss and make up this Valentine's Day
As the day of love is upon us, Kipp thinks of brands (and we use the term very lightly) that could do with a bit of lovey-dovey reconciliation.
February 14, 2013 10:45 by Eva Fernandes
Apple and Samsung
Hey we may have enjoyed seeing mighty Apple getting down and dirty with its gazillion dollar lawsuit-just as much as we enjoyed the catty 'the-next-big-thing-is-already-here' ads from Samsung. But now it is getting a bit old. We are tired of the drama and wish our favourite phone-producers would kiss and make-up.
Google and Facebook
An old internet giant clashes heads with a new one. From, Facebook hiring some of Google's finest engineers, including Lars Rasmussen,the mastermind behind the social engine's recently launched Facebook Graph, to Facebook threatening to dabble with Google's ad revenue and launching its own search engine, can't we all just get along? What so funny about peace, love and understanding?
Petrol stations and Credit card in the UAE
Some where down the line, a cold war started between the petrol stations of Dubai and the credit card companies. For years, drivers have struggled with the burden of paying by cash at petrol stations-or even worse, running to an ATM at a petrol station while the tank is being filled. Can we a put a stop to this nonsense? Kipp doesn't even know who hurt who's ego, but isn't it time we can pull up into a petrol station that is in tune with the plastic times we live in?
TRA and VOIP
VOIP is a real thing and it is here to stay. Whether the UAE's TRA chooses to accept this fact or continue to block services like Skype and Facetime-even though everybody already uses it, will really depend on some major pride-swallowing. If it was up to Kipp however, we'd have our say, and preferably over the internet.

And soon the day will come when children will not be born out of men and women's sex. We have suffered very much: blind children, retarded children, have had to live their life in utter agony and suffering.but there were no means to clear the situation. But now we have the means, now love can be completely a fun, a joy, a celebration, with no responsibility, no fear of making the woman pregnant, because that keeps her in bondage and that keeps you also in the bondage. You are partners in creating a child; now you have to be a partner in bringing him up.
I have heard.in a court a man, ninety-five years old, and a woman, ninety-one years old, appeared for divorce. The judge had seen many cases but this was really shocking. He could not believe it: one foot is already in the grave; for what do they want a divorce?
He asked, "How long have you been married?"
They said, "It is very difficult to remember. Maybe seventy-five years, or it could be a little more."
The judge said, "I cannot understand: you managed to live together for seventy years, and now at the very end you have come to divorce."
They said, "We had to wait for all our children to die. Now we are completely free, no burden."
Man's past history, Devageet, has been really not human. It can be human only if the woman and the man are no longer just sex partners; that drags them both to the very lowliest spaces. If they can love each other with respect, not using each other as commodities, men and women both will have a great uprising of consciousness.
The more your sex energy becomes love, the more you are a spiritual being. Sex is only a reproductive process forced by nature on you. Nature has been using you just like a factory - and you don't have even the dignity to declare, "I am not a factory."
But this can happen only if you are alert, aware, conscious of what you are doing, what you are thinking, how you are behaving. And that brings such grace and such beauty, that the physical beauty simply disappears. I have seen many beautiful women with very ugly minds. I have seen many beautiful men, but their beauty is not more than skin-deep. And this is the trouble: beauty is always skin-deep, and ugliness goes to the very bones. Go on digging to the bones, to the marrow, and you will find it.it is there.
Love is the alchemy to change that ugliness from within. And once it disappears from within, even an ordinary face, a homely face, starts shining with the bliss and joy of the beyond.
Don't be worried about the headache; the headache is simply an effort of biology to drag you back. I have not suffered almost for thirty years from a headache. Slowly, slowly I have forgotten how it feels. And because I have not suffered from headache, I don't feel my head either. It is only pain that makes you feel anything. But thirty years before I have also suffered from headache, and the headache is certainly concerned very deeply with sex.

Public Press wins an Excellence in Journalism award for 'Public Schools, Private Money,' in the winter 2014 edition
Public Press wins an Excellence in Journalism award for 'Public Schools, Private Money,' in the winter 2014 edition
Homeless people in San Francisco, much more than the other city residents, find themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time, getting ticketed or arrested for any of more than 20 minor offenses. The city's chronic low-level harassment of people living on the streets and in shelters amounts to a mass violation of civil rights, say advocates organizing an international day of action.
San Francisco is not unique in enforcing what are often known as "quality of life crimes."
Two North American networks of homeless advocacy organizations — the San Francisco-based Western Regional Advocacy Project and the USA-Canada Alliance of Inhabitants, in Dowelltown, Tenn. — hope to bring attention to what they call the "criminalization of homelessness." They assert a that the homeless have a "right to exist" in public spaces.
"Crime statistics nationally now include millions of homeless people who were sitting, lying down, hanging out and — perhaps worst of all — sleeping," said Paul Boden, director of the advocacy project.
The groups together are organizing public rallies and direct action in 15 cities in the U.S. and Canada. San Francisco activists are gathering at Union Square at 2 p.m. Sunday. They chose the location because businesses increasingly are focused on sweeping homeless people away from the area, in favor of tourists and window-shoppers.
In a recent study, the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty in Washington, D.C., found police in 234 U.S. cities employ similar strategies.
Most of San Francisco's ordinances have prohibitions specific to time or place. A 2011 San Francisco law restricted public behavior at two plazas in the Castro District. A 2010 voter initiative banned sitting or lying on sidewalks within a 16-hour time period.

Bear Left, Right Frog: New Teaser Movie Poster for Disney's 'The Muppets'
(Read article summary)This latest Muppets entry, the first theatrical release since 1999′s Muppets From Space, is directed by James Bobin
© 2011 - Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
It was once called The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time. Now it's simply called The Muppets, and it's headed to US theaters for Thanksgiving 2011 (November 23, to be exact). To prime at least two generations for this upcoming family comedy, Disney delivered the official teaser poster for the film, a movie that's garnered over a year's worth of buzz thanks to its screenwriter, actor-scripter Jason Segel, penning his first film since the impressive Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Can't you just picture the credits intro with this quirky quintet slo-mo strutting toward the camera? It might happen. This latest Muppets entry, the first theatrical release since 1999′s Muppets From Space, is directed by James Bobin, writer-director for two spunky, edgy HBO hits: Flight of the Conchords and Da Ali G Show. The cameo list for this one is already a mile long (check out the Muppets fans scheduled to appear), so we're expecting to see Jemaine Clement and Sacha Baron Cohen there too.

Police: State security guards stole gas, items
WATERBURY Vermont State Police say two former security guards at state buildings misused state fuel cards and stole items.
Kevin Stevens, 31, of Marshfield, and Scott Whitaker, 28, of Waterbury Center, were cited on a charge of grand larceny. State police say the two were security guards for the Department of Buildings and General Services.
The two men were working at buildings in Montpelier and Waterbury during the times when electronic equipment was stolen, according to police. State police said the value of the gas and items believed stolen is more than $2,000.
Both men are scheduled to appear in Washington County criminal court May 9 to answer the charge.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Funeral Consumers Alliance of Vermont will host a free workshop at 1 p.m. Full StoryKinney Drugs is partnering with Vermont Health Connect to help people sign up for health insurance.

New Middleware Promises Dramatically Higher Speeds, Lower Power Draw For SSDs
Re:Make them work first (68 comments)
You're in luck, as that time is right now!
tl;dr - the Samsung 840 series is the only drive to really suffer problems but that's strictly relatively speaking; it's allocating from reserve capacity and to reach the point it's at now you'd have to have 150 gb of writes per day for 10 years, which is probably at least an order of magnitude higher than even a heavy standard user. And that's the consumer version -- the Intel ssd, aimed more at production / business environments, fares even better. Which mechanical hard drives do you use that support 150 gb of daily writes for 10 years?

Who's Got More Blue-collar Appeal, Hillary Or Obama?
January 02, 2008
I'm crashing on a web piece for tomorrow, so I can't get too bogged down in this, but I did want to briefly wade into the debate Jon Chait and Jonathan Cohn are having about who'll do a better job attracting swing voters--and, relatedly, the working class. Jonathan cites a piece I wrote earlier this year about how Hillary has an edge among blue-collar voters because in some respects they value experience--particularly the ethos of waiting one's turn--more than white collar voters do. I still think this is true (though I took a lot of flak for it in the blogosphere at the time).
How Is Obama Like Dick Cheney And Fred Thompson?
December 10, 2007
He's got Stephen Hayes's love. I think Hayes's cover story on Obama in the new Weekly Standard is a pretty fascinating document--mainly because it's such a puff job. Indeed, from the gushing (and by now familiar) recitation of Obama's life story to the laudatory quotes from Obama supporters, Hayes--aka Dick Cheney's biographer and Fred Thompson's cheerleader--has nary a negative word to write about the Illinois Senator. Maybe Hayes just has a soft spot for Obama because he's related to Cheney, but I think his fondness for Obama is better explained by this passage from his piece.
Making Sense Of Hillary's Attacks
December 05, 2007
Over at the Real Clear Politics blog, Steven Stark lays out a theory I've heard batted around a bit over the last few days, about why Hillary might have decided to unload on Obama. Stark writes: Clinton would much rather face John Edwards in the later primaries than Obama. It's true that in a three-way race, attacks usually hurt both the attacker and attackee, benefiting a third candidate.
Is Obama Really More 'electable' Than Hillary?
December 03, 2007
Frank Rich certainly thinks so. Andrew Sullivan does, too. As for me, I'm not so sure. The crux of Rich's argument seems to be that Obama (unlike Clinton) disarms conservatives--pointing to the kind words people like Peggy Noonan and Rich Lowry have had for him--and that Obama's race would actually be an advantage in a general election campaign, in that it would prompt the GOP to engage in their cynical brand of racial politics, which in turn would drive white swing voters into the Democrats' corner. I hope those two things are true, but color me unconvinced for the moment.
Is Obama "setting Back" Health Reform?
November 28, 2007
Universal health care champion Ezra Klein hammers Obama for his non-universal health care plan, saying Obama is actually "setting back the cause of reform" with a plan that doesn't include mandates. Ezra's beef is partly policy-based. But it's also partly that Obama is making a huge political error. You'll lose support on the left, won't gain any on the right, and will give opponents an easy way to attack your plan. "We're spending all this and we're still leaving 20 million uninsured? Typical liberal efficiency, I guess." Ezra spends more time thinking about health care politics than I do.
No Panicking In Obama-land
October 30, 2007
Howard Fineman has a web item in Newsweek suggesting that, contrary to the buzz surrounding that Times Obama piece this weekend, there really isn't a sense of panic in the Obama camp, and that Obama doesn't feel like he has to make some game-changing move in tonight's debate. For what it's worth, I spoke to a top Obama fundraiser earlier today who basically made the same point. This person told me that Obama's top money men split into two camps when they gathered in Des Moines three weeks ago for a meeting of the campaign's national finance committee.
Cool Hand Hillary
August 03, 2007
Juicy stuff from the Times: When Mr. Obama was running for the Senate, Mrs. Clinton waited out a lightning storm on a tarmac to fly to Chicago for a fundraiser on his behalf. After he arrived in Washington in 2005, he studied her first year in office and worked to keep a similarly studious ? yet low ? profile. After Hurricane Katrina, he joined Mrs. Clinton and former President Bill Clinton as they visited storm evacuees in Houston, with Mr.
Cucumbers For All
July 19, 2007
Yesterday, ABC News ran the headline, "Sex Ed for Kindergartners 'Right Thing to Do,' says Obama." Right on cue, Mitt Romney went ballistic, telling supporters that he was "shocked" by Obama's comments, adding: "Instead of teaching sex education to five-year-olds, let's clean up the ocean of filth, the cesspool in which our kids are swimming." (Presumably this isn't what Romney had in mind.) Anyway, I was trying to find a better explanation of what Obama's views actually were, since the ABC story wasn't terribly clear, and came across David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network--that's P
Obama's (not Necessarily) Universal Plan
May 29, 2007
Brad's first reading of Obama's health care plan is correct. There's a mandate for kids to get insurance -- but not for adults. By my definition, that means it's not true universal coverage. At least not right away. Now, there's still a ton to like in the plan, to be sure -- particularly the meaty material on bringing down costs and improving quality.

PlatoPlato (427-347 BC), Greek philosopher, student and friend of Socrates, and author of The Republic; "Then, I said, let us begin and create in idea a State; and yet the true creator is necessity, who is the mother of our invention." Plato had a profound influence on Western political and scientific thought, for as Alfred North Whitehead said, "All western philosophy consists of footnotes to Plato." His works cover various subjects like education, ethics, epistemology, mathematics, metaphysics, natural science, politics, and philosophy. Included among them are Laws; "I can show you that the art of calculation has to do with odd and even numbers in their numerical relations to themselves and to each other.", Parmenides; "You cannot conceive the many without the one." and The Republic; "The knowledge of which geometry aims is the knowledge of the eternal.", ultimately discussing man's relationship with his soul, the state, and the universe. Although many of his ideas and theories are controversial, "Plato is philosophy, and philosophy, Plato, at once the glory and the shame of mankind, since neither Saxon nor Roman have availed to add any idea to his categories."--Ralph Waldo Emerson `Plato, or The Philosopher', he is also well known and respected as being a faithful disciple of Socrates and being the primary source of information on the man, his life and ideas. A number of Plato's works contain the conversations he purportedly heard between his teacher and others; his philosophy, the charges of his impiety, ensuing trial and his last days in the Socratic Dialogues including Apology; "The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways--I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows."--Socrates before he drinks the cup of poison hemlock. Plato was born into an aristocratic family in Athens, Greece around 427 BC, the son of Ariston and his wife Perictione. It is said that `Plato' is a nickname in reference to his wrestler's broad shouldered physique. Athens was in conflict with Sparta during the Peloponnesian War at the time, and Plato soon became disillusioned with the Empire and abandoned his political aspirations. Around the age of twenty he became a student of Socrates. Devoting his life to seeking the truth and examining such issues as virtue and piety through the dialectic questioning of his pupils, Socrates was also critical of the religious and political institutions of the day. Soon he was charged with heresy and corrupting the youth of Athens, and thus began Plato's writing in earnest. Apology and Crito were among his Socratic works to follow. After his teacher's death, around the age of forty Plato founded the Academy, of which Aristotle was a pupil, in a grove sacred to the demigod Academus, near Athens. Astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy were among the subjects taught there. Apart from a few years spent travelling and studying in other parts of the Mediterranean, Plato spent the majority of his life in Athens until his death in 347 BC. Plato further developed his ideas and theories in such works as Symposium; Phaedo--"False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil."; and The Republic, including his Theory of Forms and various Platonisms. From The Republic we get his metaphor of the cave: prisoners are chained inside a cave, their only reality that which they see directly in front of them on the wall. Shadows of men, animals, and objects are cast on it because there is a fire behind them. The prisoners believe that the shadows are speaking and thus learn to `name' things and form their ideas of what is `real'. Now, take the prisoner from this cave, and he will be blinded by the light, and slowly learn that his reality is not quite what it seems. So suggests Plato in his Theory of Forms, that the words we use to `name' things are not truly representative of reality, that the universal is found separately from the tangible, for as Socrates said; "it is the greatest good for a man to discuss virtue every day and those other things about which you hear me conversing and testing myself and others, for the unexamined life is not worth living."

Media Advisory ***MEDIA
The Maine Veterans Commemorative Decal Program was authorized by the Maine Legislature during the last legislative session. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is making the decals available in time for Veteran's Day. Decals may be obtained at any one of the thirteen BMV Branch Offices. A legislatively appointed task force established 22 decals for display with the veterans' plate. Five decals depict the seal of each branch of the armed services. Decals that represent ten individual awards for bravery, including the Bronze Star or higher, and seven campaign medals awarded for service in a hostile fire zone are also available. During the press conference, the colorful decals will be unveiled and members of the task force have been invited to attend. To request the decals a veteran who already has veterans' plates may bring a copy of the DD 214 (report or separation or discharge from active duty) to verify eligibility. The decals may only be used with the veterans' license plate with the red 'V'. The decals have been designed to be placed over the red 'V'. Each set of decals is $2.00. This is an optional program and the current veterans' license plate with the red 'V' will still be valid without a decal. |

Re: Breasting my fin keel? Help please.
Thank you for tracking the article down. You have been very helpful. Several things I hadn't considered that could make all the difference. Planning for a strong point for a breast line thats over the keel is something I will go take a look at after I send this. I am fortunate to live close to the dock and it won't be a problem to build a pre rigged "stand off" to act as a purchase and fender board that I can throw into the pickup and hang off the dock when I head down for a day of bottom work.
I have the exact measurements/locations, a granite/oak pier lined with oak pilings, firm bottom, 10' of tide, excellent protection, plenty of lines and I can even add boat stands as the tide goes out if I want to. A bow support would be easy. First in last out as the work progresses.
Perhaps I will ask the town to install a gin pole. To help the fishermen unload lobster traps and gear? Ha!
